I am a working father . I work hard and try to grab all the overtime that my job has so that i can make ends meet. With emunah and bitachon i survive. Jsut when youthink you will braek from financial presure Hasjem sends you an unexpected yeshua. Yes- I believe that honesty is the best policy. Sadly in shul teh hottest topic is who can milk out the most from the government. I remember twenty years ago people were embarrased to used food stamps etc. It was and is meant to be a temporary aid. My daughter tells me that her friends are so excited to get it and anounce it. Yyou think your children wont know the difference, I hear kids saying how there parents are unofficially divorced . It all starts with a little lie here and then into big things. I see a big difference in atituse and personality withththe people who try to honestly make a parnassah and others who got the easy way and acam. I went thru a time when i felt that maybe i was the only one who looks to see where is the cheapest and running after the sales.Seems like every one is on this governemnt tzedak. TO those who need it honestly may hashem bentch you with parnassah beharchava . And to the others who are scamming, Shame on you . YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TOSTEAL FROM HARD WORKING PEOPLE. It is wrong to start your life thinking you will live on this forever. It is disgusting to see poeple subletting section 8 apt to people for a crazy amount and to hear how poeple are so creative in scamming. use your creativity for the righ things. A woman told my daghter with no shame, why do you pay so much for insurance per month, jsut write a paper ir claim siblings for dependents. How dare people curropt young minds like that.
